TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL TO FEATURE THE GATES: INTERVIEWS WITH THE ARTISTS ON SITE

Premiering on Saturday, May 5, 2007

The Tribeca Film Festival has announced a new documentary called The Gates, directed by Antonio Ferrera and renowned documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles. The Gates will have its world premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. The Gates, an HBO Documentary Film, will be premiering on Saturday, May 5th, and will be the Closing Night film of the 12-day festival.

In 1979, artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude proposed one of the largest public art installations in history: a "golden river" of 7,500 fabric-paneled gates in Central Park. Transcending controversy, it was finally completed in 2005. Antonio Ferrera and Albert Maysles' film chronicles the artists' 26-year commitment to transform the winter darkness of the park into a garden of light and color.

Check out the conversation Tribeca had with Jean Claude and Christo, creators of The Gates, the director of the documentary film Albert Maysles, and the director/producer, Antonio Ferrera on the Tribeca Film Festival site.
